Re: Ki-61-II Kai Ko Take Two!

I'm afraid I disagree, Joe.
For the shadow to be as you describe, the light source would need to be pretty much just above and directly behind the viewer.

I think you've got the positioning and shape just right, Jadehawk, and it matches your other shadows. I would, however, soften the edge of the shadow, and lighten the shadow, as it moves away from the wing root. The shadow will be darkest closest to the wing and will lighten off as it travels down the fuselage and more light can get to it.
Does that make sense?
Anyway, great work!
Graeme.
